Ji Xincheng didn't talk to Zhou Yan anymore, leaned back in his chair and flipped through his phone.

The HR manager came back about thirty minutes later, and she said, "The chairman agreed, let's go through the process." ”

Ji Xincheng was a little surprised in her heart, she thought that Si Qian would not let her go so easily.

Thinking that they are now preparing for the wedding, could it be that this matter was actually his idea a long time ago, and now that he attaches more importance to Shang Xuan, he doesn't want to worry about Ji Xincheng anymore?

If this is the case, Ji Xincheng is even willing to pay this liquidated damages.

But just as she signed the relevant resignation documents and walked back to the HR department from the legal department, the HR manager told her:

"Originally, according to the regulations, you were going to pay a liquidated damages, but just now the chairman called the legal department and said that you don't need to pay this fee, and the guarantee is made in his personal name. After signing this document, the termination and resignation procedures are completed. ”

Ji Xincheng looked at the personnel manager and wanted to see something from under her peaceful appearance, but he never did.

vouching in his own name?

Did Si Qian really let Ji Xincheng go because of Shang Xuan?

She even began to reflect on herself, did she overreact to this matter? But Ji Xincheng also knows that even if there is no such thing as grabbing the role this time, it is unrealistic for her to develop well under Si Qian's company.

The idea of terminating the contract had been there for a long time, including that she had promised Shang Xuan to leave before, but subconsciously, she was still willing to do something for their company, as long as they needed it.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ji Xincheng packed up his few personal belongings, and then took a serious look at this place.

She hasn't been here for a long time, and she doesn't seem to have very happy memories, but if she was asked to make a new choice, she would still agree to Shang Xuan coming here.

This is the only way for her to find Shang Xuan, which has special significance for Ji Xincheng.

Xiao Song sent Ji Xincheng to the parking lot, his eyes were red.

"Don't tell me, you've cried!"

Facing Xiao Song, who is very simple-minded most of the time, Ji Xincheng also felt relaxed, and jokes came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Sister Cheng, you're going to forget about me soon, right?"

Xiao Song's pitiful appearance made Ji Xincheng laugh.

Putting things in the back seat and closing the car door, she didn't get into the car immediately, but stood next to the car and said to Xiao Song: "Thank you for taking care of me during this time!" I'm not Alzheimer's, so it's so easy to forget it. ”

"Actually, I'm really inferior, Sister Cheng has encountered many problems, I haven't helped you anything!"

Ji Xincheng patted Xiao Song on the shoulder, "Many times, what we see on the surface is good, but it may not be really good, you don't care too much about what others think, as long as you have a clear conscience, that's the most important thing." ”

Xiao Song only said that this was Ji Xincheng's words to comfort him, but he just listened to it casually.

asked Ji Xincheng: "Sister Cheng, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Sister, why don't you consider setting up your own studio? You have such an ability, what a pity you didn't put it to good use! ”

reminded Xiao Song, Ji Xincheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

yes, why hasn't she ever thought about being an indie studio herself?

"Xiao Song, if I really do it myself, do you want to help me?"

"Of course! Sister, do you really have such thoughts? ”

Xiao Song's ecstasy once again added a fire to Ji Xincheng's flash of inspiration, the spark can still ignite the prairies, and this fire, directly in Ji Xincheng's thinking, lit up many corners that had not been touched before.

"You're waiting for my news!"

Ji Xincheng finished speaking to Xiao Song seriously, and got into the car with excitement.

All the way back to Tang Tang's house, she was thinking about the possibility of setting up an independent studio from scratch, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt, so she couldn't help but speed up, and the same distance as usual, shortened by one-third of the time, and arrived at Tang Tang's house.

"There's good news for you!"

Ji Xincheng entered the door, threw the key into the small bamboo basket on the entrance table, and rushed to Tang Tang, who was painting with Xu Tong in the living room.

"Have you terminated your contract with the company? Free again? ”

Tang Tang's calmness is in stark contrast to Ji Xincheng's impatience.

Ji Xincheng decided to calm down first, came to the dining table and poured himself a glass of cold water to drink, before walking to Tang Tang's side, "How do you know?" ”

"The company has issued a statement, and the action is fast!"

Tang Tang's tone was sarcastic, and Tang Tang also had no good impression of Si Qian.

Ji Xincheng opened Weibo, reposted the statement, and said some polite words that were good to gather and disperse. Soon, the number of comments prompting unread increased rapidly, and Ji Xincheng glanced at the stuck interface a few times, and the voices of cursing and mockery were at the forefront.

But she didn't care anymore, put down her phone, and said to Tang Tang:

"That's not what I'm going to say, I want to start a studio, what do you think about that?"

Tang Tang originally cooperated with Xu Tongzheng to complete a watercolor painting, but when he heard this, he immediately put down his pen and turned around to look at Ji Xincheng carefully, "Really?" ”

"Of course! I thought about it all the way, and there seemed to be no reason not to do it, and I thought it would work! ”

"Of course it works!"

Tang Tang raised his voice and sat opposite Ji Xincheng, "You should have been so courageous, with your current conditions, if you want to film with peace of mind, there is no more suitable than setting up your own studio!" ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Unconditional support!"

"Great, but I have an idea."

"What thoughts?"

"I think you're with me, are you interested?"

Tang Tang squinted at Ji Xincheng, as if she had never thought of this possibility, but this possibility did make her feel an unexpected surprise, so that she didn't react easily for a while.

"Definitely interested! I'm just amazed, why did we suddenly open up until now, a year ago, we could have done this! ”

Tang Tang looked regretful, as if he had missed some great opportunity.

Ji Xincheng didn't think it was too late to start now, but felt that it was just right.

Thinking back to a year ago, her mind was all on Gu Shaoze, and sometimes she didn't even pay attention to filming, where did she have the energy to think of this.

"But isn't your latest film finished yet?"

Tang Tang was slightly stunned, she hadn't told Ji Xincheng about it yet.

"Hey, I was dismissed by the crew a long time ago."

"Huh? Why? ”

Tang Tang hesitated, but still said:

"I only found out later, that film was introduced by Si Qian, and it is likely that he is the biggest investor. After I joined the crew, I sent you photos and location, and my phone was confiscated. On the grounds that I can't leak the filming location, I'm a producer, how can I contact the outside world without a mobile phone?

But at that time, even the director said that it should be like this, and they contacted through walkie-talkies in the mountains. I was skeptical at first, but seeing that the director was filming every day, and the progress was the same as the original arrangement, I had food and drink, so I endured it. After that, a few times when I wanted to get my phone back, I was rejected for some inexplicable reasons, and I was stopped by someone when I secretly went down the mountain, and I realized that someone was targeting me, and I was basically put under house arrest.

"It wasn't until you went up the mountain that day and we accidentally bumped into each other that I had a chance to get down in your car. Your worries at the time were right, the little girl was injured because of me, and they probably didn't want to arrange a car for me who was injured, so you were in that situation when you met us. ”

Ji Xincheng thought of Tang Tang's boring appearance in the hospital at that time, and remembered that she would explain to Ji Xincheng later, it turned out that this was the case.

"No wonder I called and messaged you, and I never answered."

"I didn't want to go back when I arrived at the hospital, and I was ready to be fined liquidated damages for terminating the contract, but I didn't expect that after a few days, the director took the initiative to call me so that I didn't have to go, and I didn't mention the liquidated damages again."

"Are you sure it's Si Qian?"

"I'm pretty sure, but there is no evidence, and I heard the director talking to him on the phone and reporting on my situation."

Tang Tang thought of this, and lowered his eyes angrily, probably very unhappy in his heart, suffering from not being able to do anything to the other party.

"If it's really him, since he has already made a move, how can he easily let you get out of the way in the end? No penalty either. ”

Ji Xincheng pondered, she didn't excuse Si Gan, she just couldn't figure it out.

He said the thoughts that he had been thinking about repeatedly in his mind in the afternoon, "I terminated the contract with the company today, and I also had to pay a large amount of liquidated damages according to the system, but he told the legal counsel at the last minute that I didn't need to pay this money." ”

Tang Tang thought for a while and said, "Could it be that all this is actually Shang Xuan's arrangement, and she relented at the last moment?" ”

"Why do you think that?"

"I don't know what, he's her fiancé!"

Ji Xincheng was a little unhappy in his heart, and said to Tang Tang: "Actually, they are already preparing for the wedding, but I don't think this matter has anything to do with Shang Xuan." ”

"Xincheng, you're like that, forget the pain after the scar!"

Tang Tang's tone was a little rushed, and Ji Xincheng sensed a hint of something else.

couldn't help but say: "Tang, you forgot that when the accident happened, she took the initiative to stay, and she wanted you to be treated first." ”

The meaning of Ji Xincheng's words was obvious, and Tang Tang was no longer silent.

The ups and downs of the two calmed down in silence, Tang Tang had no intention of having a dislike with Ji Xincheng because of this matter, and took the initiative to say: "I didn't mean to smear her, it's just that it's hard to trust her anymore, how can you forget the things she did to you before." ”

Ji Xincheng naturally knew that Tang Tang was for himself, so he couldn't let Shang Xuan suffer possible injustice.

talked to Tang Tang about Shang Xuan's situation.

"Because of that accident, she lost her sense of taste and smell, all aspects of her body functions deteriorated, and she needed a lot of drugs to maintain, she herself said that there were not a few years, thinking of this, I felt that what she did to me before was nothing."

Seeing Ji Xincheng's sad expression, Tang Tang was not unmoved, sat beside her, patted Ji Xincheng on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Okay, I see, I'm just saying it casually."

Ji Xincheng raised her eyes to look at Tang Tang and let out a deep sigh, she missed the days when the three of them were together in the past, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be as far away as a matter of the previous life, and she can't help but fall into irrepressible sadness.

Xu Tong painted a picture and said to Tang Tang: "Mom, I've finished painting!" ”

Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang were reminded by this fairy tale, and it seemed that they had just returned to reality, and the two of them were behind Xu Tong on the left and right, praising again and again.

Ji Xincheng remembered that at the wedding before, Tang Tang said that Shang Xuan had seduced Song Qi, and planned to ask for clarification now.

"Tang, why did you say that Shang Xuan seduced Song Qi before, do you know something that I don't know?"

Tang Tang took off the small apron on his chest for Xu Tong, asked him to sit on the sofa to rest, handed Xu Tong water, and took a glass of juice for himself and Ji Xincheng before sitting down and saying:

"At that time, Song Qi and Ji Xinran were still together, and I also bumped into them by chance, he and Shang Xuan were kissing by the school lake."

“……”

"How? Can't believe it, right? ”

"Are you sure you're right?"

“……”

This time it was Tang Tang's turn to have nothing to say, and she refused to answer Ji Xincheng's obvious question with silence.

"How so?"

Ji Xincheng was surprised, but also puzzled.

She thought that Shang Xuan and Song Qi, because of their common experience in the orphanage, were closer to each other's brother and sister who supported each other in each other's hearts......

"That's why I said don't always think too well of people, Ji Xinran definitely did something to our car up the mountain because she knew about Shang Xuan and Song Qi, and she targeted Shang Xuan, not you."

“……”

Ji Xincheng couldn't believe it, and fell silent again.

But she knew in her heart that Tang Tang couldn't lie to her, and there was no need to do so.
